No, I don\u2019t mean short in stature (although all 5\u20193\u201d of me would support that).<\/p>\n

In an effort to:<\/p>\n

    \n
  1. share more interesting language-related material from around the web (especially articles\/videos\/etc. from deserving folks I know);<\/li>\n
  2. accommodate readers\u2019 lack of free time (and let\u2019s be honest, shorter attention spans in general); and<\/li>\n
  3. facilitate my ability to write more than once per month,<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

    I plan to start posting much shorter content on the blog, a bit more frequently. My new goal is to post 1-3 brief segments and 1 longer piece per month.<\/p>\n

    That\u2019s it. Happy New Year!<\/p>\n

     <\/p>\n

    P.S. If you\u2019d like to read a historical\/linguistic account of the idiom (more specifically, snowclone<\/strong><\/a>) \u201c<X> is the new black\u201d \u2013 or more broadly, \u201c<X> is the new <Y>\u201d \u2013 check out this Language Log entry<\/a>.<\/p>\n
